Myrtle

Myrtis communis distilled from the leaves/twigs (sometimes flowers). Fresh aroma at first reminiscent of evergreen and a sweet eucalyptus, with an almost floral dry down. There are several chemotypes including Lemon, Honey, Green and Red. Honey is actually Melaleuca teretifolia,  grown in Australia, steam distilled, leaves. It is high in  citral often over 65%. No other melaleuca produces this level of citral. The high citral content makes Honey Myrtle a very effective antibacterial, but also limits its topical use to very low dilutions, under 1%. It is also unusually high in myrcene (over 13%).
